Rumour: NWA To Be Shut Down?

Former WWE star Raven recently appeared on Hannibal TV for an interview, and was asked if he knew anything about the current status of the NWA, who came under fire during the #SpeakingOut movement, resulting in Vice President Dave Lagana resigning.

According to Raven, his understanding is that Bill Corgan, the owner of the NWA, is planning to shut down the promotion for good.

“I think Billy is shutting [NWA] down, from what I hear,” Raven said. “So yeah, and the thing is, Billy really does the booking. Billy does all the booking, at least he did with the Resistance Pro [Wrestling]. He liked me there to have my wrestling mind so I can say yay or nay to ideas, you know, like if they make sense or they don’t. But ultimately, he was the final say on everything. As he should have been.”

Raven mentioned that Corgan has become disillusioned following the Speaking Out movement and the shockwaves it sent through wrestling.

“I don’t know, I heard through the grapevine that Billy is not opening it back up and he’s disillusioned.”

The last official statement from NWA came after Lagana resigned, and it read:

“Pursuant to allegations made by pro wrestler Liz Savage on her Twitter account, 6/18/2020, NWA VP David Lagana has resigned his position, effective immediately. As well all production of NWA content is temporarily halted, pending a restructuring of executive management positions”.
